I don’t want to hear anything from an elected official unless it’s a plan to defund the DHS and impeach Noem, Bovino, etc. No texts. No emails. No talk about the economy. Step up or step off.

My child will not nap unless she’s being held. I spend 4 hours a day bouncing on a yoga ball in a dark room with a white noise machine. My forearms are barely functioning due to the neverending cradle shape they’re in. No, I don’t need your advice. I just need a yoga ball bouncing robot.
